Abstract
Skin wound healing is a complex and tightly regulated process. The frequent occurrence and reoccurrence of acute and chronic wounds cause significant skin damage to patients and impose socioeconomic burdens. Therefore, there is an urgent requirement to promote interdisciplinary development in the fields of material science and medicine to investigate novel mechanisms for wound healing. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are a type of nanomaterials that possess distinct properties and have broad application prospects. They are recognized for their capabilities in enhancing wound closure, minimizing scarring, mitigating inflammation, and exerting antibacterial effects, which has led to their prominence in wound care research. In this paper, the distinctive physicochemical properties of CeO2 NPs and their most recent synthesis approaches are discussed. It further investigates the therapeutic mechanisms of CeO2 NPs in the process of wound healing. Following that, this review critically examines previous studies focusing on the effects of CeO2 NPs on wound healing. Finally, it suggests the potential application of cerium oxide as an innovative nanomaterial in diverse fields and discusses its prospects for future advancements.

Abstract
Cerium oxide particles are a unique material that enables studying the intersection of metal oxides, f-elements, and nanomaterials. Distinct from diverse applications in catalysis, energy, and medicine, cerium possesses additional influence as a non-radioactive actinide surrogate. Herein, we present a synthesis for sub-micron cerium particles using hexamethylenetetramine and ammonium hydroxide as precipitating agents with a CeIV precursor. The combinatorial homogeneous precipitation approach yields monodisperse and moderately-stable CeO2 particle suspensions in ethanol, as determined by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential measurements. Various additives may be used to moderate and manipulate the surface charge of the particles. Proof-of-concept electrophoretic deposition of the particles produces a uniform layer of CeO2 on graphite. The synthesis and suspension properties are developed as a methodology towards future controlled actinide hydrolysis and film deposition.

Abstract
Achieving a controlled preparation of nanoparticle superstructures with spatially periodic arrangement, also called superlattices, is one of the most intriguing and open questions in soft matter science. The interest in such regular superlattices originates from the potentialities in tailoring the physicochemical properties of the individual constituent nanoparticles, eventually leading to emerging behaviors and/or functionalities that are not exhibited by the initial building blocks. Despite progress, it is currently difficult to obtain such ordered structures; the influence of parameters, such as size, softness, interaction potentials, and entropy, are neither fully understood yet and not sufficiently studied for 3D systems. In this work, we describe the synthesis and characterization of spatially ordered hierarchical structures of coated cerium oxide nanoparticles in water suspension prepared by a bottom-up approach. Covering the CeO2 surface with amphiphilic molecules having chains of appropriate length makes it possible to form ordered structures in which the particles occupy well-defined positions. In the present case superlattice arrangement is accompanied by an improvement in photoluminescence (PL) efficiency, as an increase in PL intensity of the superlattice structure of up to 400 % compared with that of randomly dispersed nanoparticles was observed. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first works in the literature in which the coexistence of 3D structures in solution, such as face-centered cubic (FCC) and Frank-Kasper (FK) phases, of semiconductor nanoparticles have been related to their optical properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral nerve injury is a common clinical disorder. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of cerium oxide nanoparticles on axonal regeneration and functional recovery of the sciatic nerve after a crush injury in the rat model. METHOD A total of 40 adult male Wistar rats were divided into four groups. The animals underwent deep anesthesia. Afterward, the right sciatic nerve of rats was exposed and crushed. In two experimental groups, rats were treated intraperitoneally with cerium oxide nanoparticles at the dosage of 20 or 80 mg/kg daily for 1 week. The control group was given a vehicle. Then, during the nerve regeneration motor and sensory function recovery tests, histomorphometric evaluations, histological assessment of gastrocnemius muscle, and gastrocnemius muscle wet weights tests were performed. RESULTS Results demonstrated that the rate of nerve regeneration increased with the administration of cerium oxide nanoparticle in high doses. Also, the morphometric analysis showed that the number of myelinated fibers and myelin sheath thicknesses was significantly greater in the cerium oxide nanoparticle group versus the control group. Other parameters also improved in the cerium oxide nanoparticle treatment groups compared with the control group. CONCLUSION These data indicate that this nanoparticle has therapeutic potential and can be considered as a new treatment for nervous system regeneration.

Abstract
The growing interest in nanomedicine over the last 20 years has carved out a research field called "nanocatalytic therapy," where catalytic reactions mediated by nanomaterials are employed to intervene in disease-critical biomolecular processes. Among many kinds of catalytic/enzyme-mimetic nanomaterials investigated thus far, ceria nanoparticles stand out from others owing to their unique scavenging properties against biologically noxious free radicals, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), by exerting enzyme mimicry and nonenzymatic activities. Much effort has been made to utilize ceria nanoparticles as self-regenerating antioxidative and anti-inflammatory agents for various kinds of diseases, given the detrimental effects of ROS and RNS therein that need alleviation. In this context, this review is intended to provide an overview as to what makes ceria nanoparticles merit attention in disease therapy. The introductory part describes the characteristics of ceria nanoparticles as an oxygen-deficient metal oxide. The pathophysiological roles of ROS and RNS are then presented, as well as their scavenging mechanisms by ceria nanoparticles. Representative examples of recent ceria-nanoparticle-based therapeutics are summarized by categorization into organ and disease types, followed by the discussion on the remaining challenges and future research directions.

Abstract
Nanomaterial application in agriculture offers novel solutions for soil arsenic (As) pollution control, yet safety along the food chain is of concern. We comprehensively assessed CeO2 nanoparticles (NPs) foliar application effects on As uptake by pakchoi and their presence in the pakchoi-snail food chain. CeO2 NPs reduced As transfer from pakchoi roots to shoots by 37.9%, lowered As in snail foot by 39%, and halved human As exposure risk. The NPs alleviated pakchoi shoot As toxicity by regulating antioxidants, enhancing water use efficiency, and photosynthesis. CeO2 +As treatment raised GSH/GSSG ratios by 38.92%- 167.54%, leading to an increased AsIII/AsV ratio and inorganic As detoxification compared to As alone. Metabolomics revealed CeO2's rapid As response via phosphatidylinositol signaling. The enzyme-like activity of CeO2 NPs may drive these effects. While CeO2 foliar application accumulated Ce on pakchoi leaves, > 99% of Ce was excreted following snail consumption. Ce transfer from pakchoi leaves to snail foot was minimal (trophic transfer factor ∼0.00007) due to limited bioavailability. The target hazard quotient of Ce in pakchoi shoot (1.21 ± 0.18) and snails (0.0016 ± 0.0004) indicated low exposure risk, suggesting a 'risk filter' effect for CeO2. Our results contribute to the safe and sustainable application of CeO2 NPs in the future implication.

Abstract
Cancer presents a significant medical challenge that requires effective management. Current cancer treatment options, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy, have limitations in terms of their efficacy and the potential harm they can cause to normal tissues. In response, researchers have been focusing on developing adjuvants that can enhance tumor responses while minimizing damage to healthy tissues. Among the promising options, nanoceria (NC), a type of nanoparticle composed of cerium oxide, has garnered attention for its potential to improve various cancer treatment regimens. Nanoceria has demonstrated its ability to exhibit toxicity towards cancer cells, inhibit invasion, and sensitize cancer cells to both radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The remarkable aspect is that nanoceria show minimal toxicity to normal tissues while protecting against various forms of reactive oxygen species generation. Its capability to enhance the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy and radiotherapy has also been observed. This paper thoroughly reviews the current literature on nanoceria's applications within different cancer treatment modalities, with a specific focus on radiotherapy. The emphasis is on nanoceria's unique role in enhancing tumor radiosensitization and safeguarding normal tissues from radiation damage.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) stress in crops has been serious concern while little is known about the copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) effects on Cd accumulation by crops. This study investigated the effectiveness of CuO NPs in mitigating Cd contamination in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivation through a pot experiment, presenting an eco-friendly solution to a critical agricultural concern. The CuO NPs, synthesized using green methods, exhibited a circular shape with a crystalline structure and a particle size ranging from 8 to 12 nm. The foliar spray of CuO NPs was applied in four different concentrations i.e. control, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg/L. The obtained data demonstrated that, in comparison to the control group, CuO NPs had a beneficial influence on various growth metrics and straw and grain yields of T. aestivum. The green CuO NPs improved T. aestivum growth and physiology under Cd stress, enhanced selected enzyme activities, reduced oxidative stress, and decreased malondialdehyde levels in the T. aestivum plants. CuO NPs lowered Cd contents in T. aestivum tissues and boosted the uptake of essential nutrients from the soil. Overall, foliar applied CuO NPs were effective in minimizing Cd contents in grains thereby reducing the health risks associated with Cd excess in humans. However, more in depth studies with several plant species and application methods of CuO NPs are required for better utilization of NPs in agricultural purposes.

Abstract
Wound care and treatment can be critical from a clinical standpoint. While different strategies for the management and treatment of skin wounds have been developed, the limitations inherent in the current approaches necessitate the development of more effective alternative strategies. Advances in tissue engineering have resulted in the development of novel promising approaches for accelerating wound healing. The use of various biomaterials capable of accelerating the regeneration of damaged tissue is critical in tissue engineering. In this regard, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) have recently received much attention because of their excellent biological properties, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and angiogenic features. The incorporation of CeO2 NPs into various polymer-based scaffolds developed for wound healing applications has led to accelerated wound healing due to the presence of CeO2 NPs. This paper discusses the structure and functions of the skin, the wound healing process, different methods for the synthesis of CeO2 NPs, the biological properties of CeO2 NPs, the role of CeO2 NPs in wound healing, the use of scaffolds containing CeO2 NPs for wound healing applications, and the potential toxicity of CeO2 NPs.

Abstract
Lanthanide based ceria nanomaterials are important practical materials due to the redox properties that are useful in the avenues pertaining to technology and life sciences. Sub 10 nm spherical and highly monodisperse Ce1-xYbxO2-y (0.04 ≤ x ≤ 0.22) nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal decomposition, annealed separately at 773 K and 1273 K for 2 hours and characterized. Elemental mapping for Yb3+ doped ceria nanoparticles shows homogeneous distribution of Yb3+ atoms in the ceria with low Yb3+ content annealed at 773 K and 1273 K for 2 hours. However, clusters are observed for 773 K annealed ceria samples with high concentration of Yb3+. These clusters are not detected in 1273 K annealed nanomaterials. Introducing small amounts of Yb3+ ions into the ceria lattice as spectroscopic probes can provide detailed information about the atomic structure and local environments allowing the monitoring of small structural changes, such as clustering. The emission spectra observed at room temperature and at 4 K have a manifold of bands that corresponds to the 2F5/2 → 2F7/2 transition of Yb3+ ions. Some small shifts are observed in the Stark splitting pattern depending on the sample and the annealing conditions. The deconvolution by PARAFAC analysis yielded luminescence decay kinetics as well as the associated luminescence spectra of three species for each of the low Yb3+ doped ceria samples annealed at 773 K and one species for the 1273 K annealed samples. However, the ceria samples with high concentration of Yb3+ annealed at the two temperatures showed only one species with lower decay times as compared to the low Yb3+ doped ceria samples.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2-NPs) and Zn-Ni dual-doped CeO2-NPs were synthesized through a green approach by the implication of zucchini peel (Cucurbita pepo) extract as a capping and reduction agent. All the synthesized samples were studied by the results of FTIR, UV-Vis, XRD, and FESEM/EDAX/PSA analyses. The Zn-Ni dual-doped CeO2-NPs contained a spherical morphology and their size was observed to increase at higher temperatures. The conducted MTT assay on the Huh-7 cell line displayed 50% of cells annihilation as a result of using undoped CeO2-NPs and Zn-Ni dual-doped CeO2-NPs at the inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 700 and 185.4 μg/mL, respectively. We also evaluated the enzymatic functionality of SOD and CAT of undoped CeO2-NPs and dual-doped NPs and found it to be dose dependent. Moreover, Zn-Ni dual-doped CeO2-NPs intensified the CAT activity without causing any changes in SOD activity in similar concentrations.

Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:2509. [PMID: 37896269 PMCID: PMC10610395 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15102509] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 10/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: An element that has gained much attention in industrial and biomedical fields is Cerium (Ce). CeO2 nanoparticles have been proven to be promising regarding their different biomedical applications for the control of infection and inflammation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biological properties and antimicrobial behavior of cerium oxide (CeO2) nanoparticles (NPs). (2) Methods: The investigation of the NPs' biocompatibility with human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) was evaluated via the MTT assay. Measurement of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and alizarine red staining (ARS) were used as markers in the investigation of CeO2 NPs' capacity to induce the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. Induced inflammatory stress conditions were applied to hPDLCs with H2O2 to estimate the influence of CeO2 NPs on the viability of cells under these conditions, as well as to reveal any ROS scavenging properties. Total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of cell lysates with NPs was also investigated. Finally, the macro broth dilution method was the method of choice for checking the antibacterial capacity of CeO2 against the anaerobic pathogens Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia. (3) Results: Cell viability assay indicated that hPDLCs increase their proliferation rate in a time-dependent manner in the presence of CeO2 NPs. ALP and ARS measurements showed that CeO2 NPs can promote the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLCs. In addition, the MTT assay and ROS determination demonstrated some interesting results concerning the viability of cells under oxidative stress conditions and, respectively, the capability of NPs to decrease free radical levels over the course of time. Antimicrobial toxicity was observed mainly against P. gingivalis. (4) Conclusions: CeO2 NPs could provide an excellent choice for use in clinical practices as they could prohibit bacterial proliferation and control inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wound healing remains a formidable challenge due to susceptibility to bacterial infection, excessive oxidative stress, and poor angiogenesis. To address these issues, a sodium alginate (SA) based photothermal hydrogel dressing with multifunction was fabricated to facilitate wound treatment. Ceria nanoparticles (CeO2NPs) was synthesized, and their antibacterial performance by near-infrared light triggered photothermal effects was first studied and verified in this work. In addition, to release CeO2NPs to achieve antioxidation and pro-vascularization, thermosensitive gelatin (Gel) was utilized to embed the nanoparticles in advance and then composited in SA hydrogel networks. SA network was finally strengthened by acid soaking to form partially crystalline regions to act as natural crosslinkers. Results showed that the Gel/SA/CeO2 hydrogel displayed temperature-responsive release of CeO2NPs, significant antibacterial and antioxidative activity, as well as the ability to remove without injury and promote infected diabetic wound healing with low cytotoxicity, according to antibacterial investigations, cell studies, and in vivo animal studies. This research offers not only a successful method for quickening the healing of diabetic wounds but also a fresh approach to the general use of CeO2NPs.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles have now significant presence in biomedical fields due to their wide applications; however, challenges regarding their safety and biocompatibility persist. Polysaccharides based biopolymers have inherent hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, enabling them to govern the surface functionalization of cerium oxide nanoparticles, hence their chemical and physical characteristics. Because of this, polysaccharides such as dextran, alginate, pullulan, chitosan, polylactic acid, starch, and pectin are practical substitutes for the conventional coatings used to synthesize cerium oxide nanoparticles. This review discusses the effect of biopolymer coatings on the properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles, such as size, stability, aggregation, and biocompatibility. Additionally, it also summarises various biomedical applications of polysaccharides coated cerium oxide nanoparticles, such as in bone tissue regeneration, liver inflammation, wound healing, and antibacterial and anticancer activities. Biocompatible cerium oxide nanoparticles will surely improve their applications in the biomedical field.

Abstract
A biofilm is a population of sessile microorganisms that has a distinct organized structure and characteristics like channels and projections. Good oral hygiene and reduction in the prevalence of periodontal diseases arise from minimal biofilm accumulation in the mouth, however, studies focusing on modifying the ecology of oral biofilms have not yet been consistently effective. The self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances and greater antibiotic resistance make it difficult to target and eliminate biofilm infections, which lead to serious clinical consequences that are often lethal. Therefore, a better understanding is required to target and modify the ecology of biofilms in order to eradicate the infection, not only in instances of oral disorders but also in terms of nosocomial infections. The review focuses on several biofilm ecology modifiers to prevent biofilm infections, as well as the involvement of biofilm in antibiotic resistance, implants or in-dwelling device contamination, dental caries, and other periodontal disorders. It also discusses recent advances in nanotechnology that may lead to novel strategies for preventing and treating infections caused by biofilms as well as a novel outlook to infection control.

Abstract
Hypoxia is a typical feature of most solid tumors and has important effects on tumor cells' proliferation, invasion, and metastasis. This is the key factor that leads to poor efficacy of different kinds of therapy including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, photodynamic therapy, etc. In recent years, the construction of hypoxia-relieving functional nanoplatforms through nanotechnology has become a new strategy to reverse the current situation of tumor microenvironment hypoxia and improve the effectiveness of tumor treatment. Here, the main strategies and recent progress in constructing nanoplatforms are focused on to directly carry oxygen, generate oxygen in situ, inhibit mitochondrial respiration, and enhance blood perfusion to alleviate tumor hypoxia. The advantages and disadvantages of these nanoplatforms are compared. Meanwhile, nanoplatforms based on organic and inorganic substances are also summarized and classified. Through the comprehensive overview, it is hoped that the summary of these nanoplatforms for alleviating hypoxia could provide new enlightenment and prospects for the construction of nanomaterials in this field.

Abstract
Nanotechnology has become one of the most extensive fields of research. Nanoparticles (NPs) form the base for nanotechnology. Recently, nanomaterials (NMs) are widely used due to flexible chemical, biological, and physical characteristics with improved efficacy in comparison to bulk counterparts. The significance of each class of NMs is enhanced by identifying their properties. Day by day, there is an emergence of various applications of NMs, but the toxic effects associated with them cannot be avoided. NMs demonstrate therapeutic abilities by enhancing the drug delivery system, diagnosis, and therapeutic effects of numerous agents, but determining the benefits of NMs over other clinical applications (disease-specific) or substances is an ongoing investigation. This review is aimed at defining NMs and NPs and their types, synthesis, and pharmaceutical, biomedical, and clinical applications.

Abstract
The modification of Au nanoparticles can improve the antioxidant activity of CeO2, however, nano Au/CeO2has also met some problems such as low atomic utilization, the limit of reaction conditions, and high cost. Au single atom catalysts can well solve the above-mentioned problems, but there are some contradictory results about the activity of single atom Au1/CeO2and nano Au/CeO2. Here, we synthesized rod-like Au single atom Au/CeO2(0.4% Au1/CeO2) and nano Au/CeO2(1% Au/CeO2, 2% Au/CeO2and 4% Au/CeO2), and their antioxidant activity from strong to weak is 0.4% Au1/CeO2, 1% Au/CeO2, 2% Au/CeO2and 4% Au/CeO2, respectively. The higher antioxidant activity of 0.4% Au1/CeO2is mainly due to the high Au atomic utilization ratio and the stronger charge transfer between Au single atoms and CeO2, resulting in the higher content of Ce3+. Due to the coexistence of Au single atoms and Au NPs in 2% Au/CeO2, the antioxidant activity 2% Au/CeO2is higher than that of 4% Au/CeO2. And the enhancement effect of Au single atoms was not affected by the concentration of ·OH and material concentration. These results can promote the understanding of the antioxidant activity of 0.4% Au1/CeO2and promote its application.

Abstract
Beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) stabilized cerium oxide nanoparticles (β-CD@CeO2 NPs) were synthesized through a hydrothermal route. The electronic properties, surface functional group, surface composition, size, and morphologies of the as-synthesized β-CD@CeO2 NPs were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR analysis, high resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HRXPS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The pH-dependent variation of the ζ-potential of β-CD@CeO2 NPs and the catalytic activity of the NPs for the hydrolysis of paraoxon were investigated. The observed pseudo-first-order rate constant (kobs) for the hydrolysis of paraoxon is increased with increasing pH and the ζ-potential of β-CD@CeO2 NPs. The kinetics and mechanism of hydrolysis of paraoxon in the aqueous and cationic micellar media have been discussed.

Abstract
Rational design of multifunctional biomaterials with customized architecture and on demand bioactivity is of great significance for bone tissue engineering (BTE) in modern society. Herein, a versatile therapeutic platform has been established by integrating cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) into bioactive glass (BG) to fabricate three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds, achieving a sequential therapeutic effect against inflammation and promoting osteogenesis toward bone defect. The antioxidative activity of CeO2 NPs plays a crucial role in alleviating the oxidative stress upon formation of bone defects. Subsequently, CeO2 NPs exert a promotion effect on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rat osteoblasts through enhancing mineral deposition and alkaline phosphatase and osteogenic gene expression. Strikingly, the incorporation of CeO2 NPs bestows on the BG scaffolds greatly reinforced mechanical properties, improved biocompatibility, adequate cell adhesion, elevated osteogenic capability, and multifunctional performance in a single platform. In vivo studies on the treatment of rat tibial defect confirmed the better osteogenic properties of CeO2-BG scaffolds compared with pure BG scaffolds. Additionally, the employment of the 3D printing technique creates a proper porous microenvironment around the bone defect, which further facilitates the cell in-growth and new bone formation. This report provides a systematic study on CeO2-BG 3D-printed scaffolds prepared by simple ball milling method, achieving sequential and integral treatment in BTE based on a single platform.

The formation of cerianite (CeO2) was investigated at low hydrothermal conditions (35-205 °C) via two experimental settings: (1) crystallisation from solution experiments, and (2) replacement of Ca-Mg carbonates (calcite, dolomite, aragonite) mediated by Ce-bearing aqueous solutions. The solid samples were studied with a combination of powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The results revealed a multi-step crystallisation pathway: amorphous Ce carbonate → Ce-lanthanite [Ce2(CO3)3·8H2O] → Ce-kozoite [orthorhombic CeCO3(OH)] → Ce-hydroxylbastnasite [hexagonal CeCO3(OH)] → cerianite [CeO2]. We found that Ce carbonates can decarbonise in the final stage of the reaction, forming cerianite which significantly increases the porosity of the solids. The redox behaviour of Ce combined with the temperature, and the availability of CO2 3- govern this crystallisation sequence, the sizes, morphologies, and crystallisation mechanisms of the solid phases. Our results explain the occurrence and behaviour of cerianite in natural deposits. These findings also present a simple, environmental-friendly, and cost-efficient method for the synthesis of Ce carbonates and cerianite with tailored structures and chemistries.

Abstract
In the present study, we used a simple ultrasonic approach to develop a Cerium oxide/Graphene oxide hybrid (CeO2/GO hybrid) nanocomposite system. Particle size analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) have been used to analyze the physio-chemical characteristics of the developed nanocomposite. The synthesized hybrid system has also been examined to assess its anticancer capability against MCF-7 cell lines and normal cell lines at different sample concentrations, pH values, and incubation intervals using an antiproliferative assay test. The test results demonstrate that as sample concentration rises, the apoptotic behavior of the CeO2/GO hybrid in the MCF-7 cell line also rises. The IC50 was 62.5 µg/mL after 72 h of incubation. Cytotoxicity of cisplatin bound CeO2/GO hybrid was also tested in MCF-7 cell lines. To identify apoptosis-associated alterations of cell membranes during the process of apoptosis, a dual acridine orange/ethidium bromide (AO/EB) fluorescence staining was carried out at three specified doses (i.e., 1000 µg/mL, 250 µg/mL, and 62.5 µg/mL of CeO2/GO hybrid). The color variations from both live (green) and dead (red) cells were examined using fluorescence microscopy under in vitro conditions. The quantitative analysis was performed using flow cytometry to identify the cell cycle at which the maximum number of MCF-7 cells had been destroyed as a result of interaction with the developed CeO2/GO hybrid (FACS study). According to the results of the FACS investigation, the majority of cancer cells were inhibited at the R3 (G2/M) phase. Therefore, the CeO2/GO hybrid has successfully showed enhanced anticancer efficacy against the MCF-7 cell line at the IC50 concentration. According to the current study, the CeO2/GO platform can be used as a therapeutic platform for breast cancer. The synergetic effects of the developed CeO2/GO hybrid with the MCF-7 cell line are presented.

Abstract
Redox imbalance can trigger cell dysfunction and damage and plays a vital role in the origin and progression of many diseases. Maintaining the balance between oxidants and antioxidants in vivo is a complicated and arduous task, leading to ongoing research into the construction of redox nanomaterials. Nanodrug platforms with redox characteristics can not only reduce the adverse effects of oxidative stress on tissues by removing excess oxidants from the body but also have multienzyme-like activity, which can play a cytotoxic role in tumor tissues through the catalytic oxidation of their substrates to produce harmful reactive oxygen species such as hydroxyl radicals. In this review, various redox nanomaterials currently used in disease therapy are discussed, emphasizing the treatment methods and their applications in tumors and other human tissues. Finally, the limitations of the current clinical application of redox nanomaterials are considered.

Abstract
This research work aims at the eco-friendly preparation of cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeSD NPs) utilizing the natural extract of Scoparia dulsis L. An attempt was made to analyze the influence of the fuel load on the size, shape, and optical properties of the nanoparticles. The p-XRD studies revealed the controlled formation of NPs with a size not more than 12.74 nm. The surface area studies appraise the mesoporous nature of the synthesized ceria particles, with the maximum specific surface area of 36.06 m2g-1. The nano-regime CeO2 nanoparticles had a definite impact on biomedical and electrochemical studies. The CeSD NPs with minuscule size (10.69 nm) manifested promising antioxidant and human RBC protection activity. The antioxidant properties were evaluated using % DPPH inhibition with of maximum of 83.38. The stabilization of RBC's by CeSD NPs was maximum at 94.97%. However, the CeSD NPs with apparent size (12.74 nm) that utilized greater volume fuel (25 mL) had noticeable results on adenocarcinomic lung (A549) cancer cell viability and antidiabetic study which was maximum of 70.16% at concentration 500 μg/mL. A satisfactory antibacterial application was proffered against chosen bacterial stains. The smallest size CeO2 NPs exhibited the best proton diffusion coefficient (8.16 × 10-6 cm2s-1), and the capacitance values of the CeSD NPs are near in all samples (~ 1.17 to 2.00 F) manifest their compact nano-regime sizes. The paracetamol drug was chosen as analyte to appreciating the superlative efficiency for sensing paracetamol drug with the lowest detection limit.

Abstract
Due to its unique redox chemistry, nanoceria is considered as potent free radical scavenger and antioxidant. However, their protective capacity in aging organisms remains controversial. To detect the anti-aging effects associated with the redox activity of 2 and 10 nm nano-CeO2, different test systems were used, including in vitro analysis, in situ assay of mitochondria function and in vivo studies of suitable nano-CeO2 on aging of male Wistar rats from 22 months-old to the end of life. The 2 nm nanoparticles exhibited not only antioxidant (·OH scavenging; chemiluminescence assay; decomposition of H2O2, phosphatidylcholine autooxidation) but also prooxidant properties (reduced glutathione and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidation) as well as affected mitochondria whereas in most test systems 10 nm nano-CeO2 showed less activity or was inert. Prolonged use of the more redox active 2 nm nano-CeO2 (0.25-0.3 mg/kg/day) in vivo with drinking water resulted in improvement in physiological parameters and normalization of the prooxidant/antioxidant balance in liver and blood of aging animals. Survival analysis using Kaplan-Meier curve and Gehan tests with Yates' correction showed that by the time the prooxidant-antioxidant balance was assessed (32 months), survival rates exceeded the control values most considerably. The apparent median survival for the control rats was 900 days, and for the experimental rats-960 days. In general, the data obtained indicate the ability of extra-small 2 nm nano-CeO2 to improve quality of life and increase the survival rate of an aging organism.

Abstract
The human nature of curiosity, wonder, and ingenuity date back to the age of humankind. In parallel with our history of civilization, interest in scientific approaches to unravel mechanisms underlying natural phenomena has been developing. Recent years have witnessed unprecedented growth in research in the area of pharmaceuticals and medicine. The optimism that nanotechnology (NT) applied to medicine and drugs is taking serious steps to bring about significant advances in diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease-a shift from fantasy to reality. The growing interest in the future medical applications of NT leads to the emergence of a new field for nanomaterials (NMs) and biomedicine. In recent years, NMs have emerged as essential game players in modern medicine, with clinical applications ranging from contrast agents in imaging to carriers for drug and gene delivery into tumors. Indeed, there are instances where nanoparticles (NPs) enable analyses and therapies that cannot be performed otherwise. However, NPs also bring unique environmental and societal challenges, particularly concerning toxicity. Thus, clinical applications of NPs should be revisited, and a deep understanding of the effects of NPs from the pathophysiologic basis of a disease may bring more sophisticated diagnostic opportunities and yield more effective therapies and preventive features. Correspondingly, this review highlights the significant contributions of NPs to modern medicine and drug delivery systems. This study also attempted to glimpse the future impact of NT in medicine and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the literature for research trends on cerium oxide from 1990 to 2020 and identify gaps in knowledge in the emerging application(s) of CeONP. Bibliometric methods were used to identify themes in database searches from PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science Core Collection using SWIFT-Review, VOSviewer and SciMAT software programs. A systematic review was completed on published cerium oxide literature extracted from the Scopus database (n = 17,115), identifying themes relevant to its industrial, environmental and biomedical applications. A total of 172 publications were included in the systematic analysis and categorized into four time periods with research themes identified; "doping additives" (n = 5, 1990-1997), "catalysts" (n = 32, 1998-2005), "reactive oxygen species" (n = 66, 2006-2013) and "pathology" (n = 69, 2014-2020). China and the USA showed the highest number of citations and publications for cerium oxide research from 1990 to 2020. Longitudinal analysis showed CeONP has been extensively used for various applications due to its catalytic properties. In conclusion, this study showed the trend in research in CeONP over the past three decades with advancements in nanoparticle engineering like doping, and more recently surface modification or functionalization to further enhanced its antioxidant abilities. As a result of recent nanoparticle engineering developments, research into CeONP biological effects have highlighted its therapeutic potential for a range of human pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease. Whilst research over the past three decades show the versatility of cerium oxide in industrial and environmental applications, there are still research opportunities to investigate the potential beneficial effects of CeONP in its application(s) on human health.

Abstract
Oxidative stress damage to renal epithelial cells is the main pathological factor of calcium oxalate calculi formation. The development of medicine that could alleviate oxidative damage has become the key to the prevention and treatment of urolithiasis. Herein, porous nanorods CeO2 nanoparticles (CNPs) were selected from CeO2 with different morphologies as an antioxidant reagent to suppress kidney calcium oxalate crystal depositions with excellent oxidation resistance due to its larger specific surface area. The reversible transformation from Ce3+ to Ce4+ could catalyze the decomposition of excess free radicals and act as a biological antioxidant enzyme basing on its strong ability to scavenge free radicals. The protection capability of CNPS against oxalate-induced damage and the effect of CNPS on calcium oxalate crystallization were studied. CNPS could effectively reduce reactive oxygen species production, restore mitochondrial membrane potential polarity, recover cell cycle progression, reduce cell death, and inhibit the formation of calcium oxalate crystals on the cell surface in vitro. The results of high-throughput sequencing of mRNA showed that CNPs could protect renal epithelial cells from oxidative stress damage caused by high oxalate by suppressing the expression gene of cell surface adhesion proteins. In addition, CNPS can significantly reduce the pathological damage of renal tubules and inhibit the deposition of calcium oxalate crystals in rat kidneys while having no significant side effect on other organs and physiological indicators in vivo. Our results provide a new strategy for CNPS as a potential for clinical prevention of crystalline kidney injury and crystal deposition.

Abstract
Currently, new advancements in the area of nanotechnology opened up new prospects in the field of medicine that could provide us with a solution for numerous medical complications. Although a several varieties of nanoparticles is being explored to be used as nanomedicines, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) are the most attractive due to their biocompatibility and their switchable oxidation state (+3 and +4) or in other words the ability to act as prooxidant and antioxidant depending on the pH condition. Green synthesis of nanoparticles is preferred to make it more economical, eco-friendly, and less toxic. The aim of our study here is to formulate the CeO2 NPs (CeO2 NPs) using Morinda citrifolia (Noni) leaf extract and study its optical, structural, antibacterial, and anticancer abilities. Their optical and structural characterization was accomplished by employing X-ray diffractography (XRD), TEM, EDAX, FTIR, UV-vis, and photoluminescence assays. Our CeO2 NPs expressed strong antibacterial effects against Gram-positive S. aureus and S. pneumonia in addition to Gram-negative E. coli and K. pneumonia when compared with amoxicillin. The anticancer properties of the green synthesized CeO2 NPs against human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) MOLT-4 cells were further explored by the meticulous study of their ability to diminish cancer cell viability (cytotoxicity), accelerate apoptosis, escalate intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, decline the mitochondria membrane potential (MMP) level, modify the cell adhesion, and shoot up the activation of proapoptotic markers, caspase-3, -8, and -9, in the tumor cells. Altogether, the outcomes demonstrated that our green synthesized CeO2 NPs are an excellent candidate for alternative cancer therapy.

Abstract
Next-generation implantable devices such as sensors, drug-delivery systems, and electroceuticals require efficient, reliable, and highly miniaturized power sources. Existing power sources such as the Li-I2 pacemaker battery exhibit limited scale-down potential without sacrificing capacity, and therefore, alternatives are needed to power miniaturized implants. This work shows that ceramic electrolytes can be used in potentially implantable glucose fuel cells with unprecedented miniaturization. Specifically, a ceramic glucose fuel cell-based on the proton-conducting electrolyte ceria-that is composed of a freestanding membrane of thickness below 400 nm and fully integrated into silicon for easy integration into bioelectronics is demonstrated. In contrast to polymeric membranes, all materials used are highly temperature stable, making thermal sterilization for implantation trivial. A peak power density of 43 µW cm-2 , and an unusually high statistical verification of successful fabrication and electrochemical function across 150 devices for open-circuit voltage and 12 devices for power density, enabled by a specifically designed testing apparatus and protocol, is demonstrated. The findings demonstrate that ceramic-based micro-glucose-fuel-cells constitute the smallest potentially implantable power sources to date and are viable options to power the next generation of highly miniaturized implantable medical devices.

Abstract
A two-dimensional (2D) CeO2-Pd-PDA/rGO heterojunction nanocomposite has been synthesised via an environmentally friendly, energy efficient, and facile wet chemical procedure and examined for hydrogen (H2) gas sensing application for the first time. The H2 gas sensing performance of the developed conductometric sensor has been extensively investigated under different operational conditions, including working temperature up to 200 °C, UV illumination, H2 concentrations from 50–6000 ppm, and relative humidity up to 30% RH. The developed ceria-based nanocomposite sensor was functional at a relatively low working temperature (100 °C), and its sensing properties were improved under UV illumination (365 nm). The sensor’s response towards 6000 ppm H2 was drastically enhanced in a humid environment (15% RH), from 172% to 416%. Under optimised conditions, this highly sensitive and selective H2 sensor enabled the detection of H2 molecules down to 50 ppm experimentally. The sensing enhancement mechanisms of the developed sensor were explained in detail. The available 4f electrons and oxygen vacancies on the ceria surface make it a promising material for H2 sensing applications. Moreover, based on the material characterisation results, highly reactive oxidant species on the sensor surface formed the electron–hole pairs, facilitated oxygen mobility, and enhanced the H2 sensing performance.

Abstract
Cerium oxide nanoparticles have significantly improved catalytic properties and are of increasing interest in the nanoparticle research field hence the current trends in cerium oxide nanoparticles are reviewed here. Unlike previous reviews which have focused primarily on the biosynthesis of cerium oxide nanoparticles, their properties, and applications, this review will focus on the unique physical, chemical, and biological properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles, the role of oxygen vacancies or defects in the lattice structure, the ratio of oxidation states in determining their catalytic properties and applications in biosensing, drug or gene delivery, etc. have been discussed. Furthermore, the limitations of the bare form of cerium oxide nanoparticles and the advances in the field of surface coating by different ligands to overcome the issues of bare nanoparticles have been discussed. The review concludes with a discussion on the environmental aspects and toxicity of cerium oxide nanoparticles and their potential future in practical applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticle corona phases, especially those surrounding anisotropic particles, are central to determining their catalytic, molecular recognition, and interfacial properties. It remains a longstanding challenge to chemically synthesize and control such phases at the nanoparticle surface. In this work, the supramolecular chemistry of rosette nanotubes (RNTs), well-defined hierarchically self-assembled nanostructures formed from heteroaromatic bicyclic bases, is used to create molecularly precise and continuous corona phases on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). These RNT-SWCNT (RS) complexes exhibit the lowest solvent-exposed surface area (147.8 ± 60 m-1 ) measured to date due to its regular structure. Through Raman spectroscopy, molecular-scale control of the free volume is also observed between the two annular structures and the effects of confined water. SWCNT photoluminescence (PL) within the RNT is also modulated considerably as a function of their diameter and chirality, especially for the (11, 1) species, where a PL increase compared to other species can be attributed to their chiral angle and the RNT's inward facing electron densities. In summary, RNT chemistry is extended to the problem of chemically defining both the exterior and interior corona interfaces of an encapsulated particle, thereby opening the door to precision control of core-shell nanoparticle interfaces.

Abstract
Acceptability and relevance of nanoparticles in the society is greatly improved using a safer-by-design strategy. However, this is difficult to implement when too late in the development process or when nanoparticles are already on the market (e.g., TiO2). We employ this strategy for emerging nanoparticles of lanthanide oxysulfide of formula (Gd,Ce)2O2S, relevant for photocatalysis as well as for multimodal imaging, as the bandgap of the nanoparticles, related to their Ce content, impacts their ability to absorb visible light. As a first step, we investigated the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a function of cerium content, in abiotic conditions and in vitro using murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cell line. We demonstrate that, at sub-lethal doses, Ce-containing oxysulfide nanoparticles are responsible for a higher ROS intracellular formation than cerium-free Gd2O2S nanoparticles, although no significant inflammatory response or oxidative stress was measured. Moreover, there was no significant loss of cerium as free cation from the nanoparticles, as evidenced by X-ray fluorescence mapping. Based on these results, we propose a risk analysis for lanthanide oxysulfide nanoparticles, leading to a technology assessment that fulfills the safer-by-design strategy.

Abstract
Bacterial-infected wounds are a serious threat to public health. Bacterial invasion can easily delay the wound healing process and even cause more serious damage. Therefore, effective new methods or drugs are needed to treat wounds. Nanozyme is an artificial enzyme that mimics the activity of a natural enzyme, and a substitute for natural enzymes by mimicking the coordination environment of the catalytic site. Due to the numerous excellent properties of nanozymes, the generation of drug-resistant bacteria can be avoided while treating bacterial infection wounds by catalyzing the sterilization mechanism of generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Notably, there are still some defects in the nanozyme antibacterial agents, and the design direction is to realize the multifunctionalization and intelligence of a single system. In this review, we first discuss the pathophysiology of bacteria infected wound healing, the formation of bacterial infection wounds, and the strategies for treating bacterially infected wounds. In addition, the antibacterial advantages and mechanism of nanozymes for bacteria-infected wounds are also described. Importantly, a series of nanomaterials based on nanozyme synthesis for the treatment of infected wounds are emphasized. Finally, the challenges and prospects of nanozymes for treating bacterial infection wounds are proposed for future research in this field.

Abstract
Bone grafts or prosthetic implant designing for clinical application is challenging due to the complexity of integrated physiological processes. The revolutionary advances of nanotechnology in the biomaterial field expedite and endorse the current unresolved complexity in functional bone graft and implant design. Rare earth (RE) materials are emerging biomaterials in tissue engineering due to their unique biocompatibility, fluorescence upconversion, antimicrobial, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties. Researchers have developed various RE smart nano-biomaterials for bone tissue engineering and implantology applications in the past two decades. Furthermore, researchers have explored the molecular mechanisms of RE material-mediated tissue regeneration. Recent advances in biomedical applications of micro or nano-scale RE materials have provided a foundation for developing novel, cost-effective bone tissue engineering strategies. This review attempted to provide an overview of RE nanomaterials' technological innovations in bone tissue engineering and implantology and summarized the osteogenic, angiogenic, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, in vivo bone tissue imaging, and antimicrobial properties of various RE nanomaterials, as well as the molecular mechanisms involved in these biological events. Further, we extend to discuss the challenges and prospects of RE smart nano-biomaterials in the field of bone tissue engineering and implantology.

Abstract
A cerium-oxo nanocluster capped by chloride ligands, [CeIV38-nCeIIInO56-(n+1)(OH)n+1Cl51(H2O)11]10- (n = 1-24), has been isolated from acidic chloride solutions by using potassium counterions. The crystal structure was elucidated using single crystal X-ray diffraction. At the center of the cluster is a {Ce14} core that exhibits the same fluorite-type structure as bulk CeO2, with eight-coordinate Ce sites bridged by tetrahedral oxo anions. The {Ce14} is further surrounded by a peripheral shell of six tetranuclear {Ce4} subunits that are located on each of the faces of the core to yield the {Ce38} cluster. The surface of the cluster is capped by 51 bridging/terminal chloride ligands and 11 water molecules; the anionic cluster is charge balanced by potassium counterions that exist in the outer coordination sphere. While assignment of the Ce oxidation state by bond valence summation was ambiguous, Ce L3-edge X-ray absorption, X-ray photoelectron, and UV-vis-NIR absorption results were consistent with a CeIII/CeIV cluster. Systematic changes in the XANES and UV-vis-NIR absorption spectra over time pointed to reactivity of the cluster upon exposure to air. These changes were examined using single crystal X-ray diffraction, and a clear single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation was captured; an overall loss of surface-bound chlorides and water molecules as well as new μ2-OH sites was observed on the cluster surface. This work provides a rare snapshot of metal oxide cluster reactivity. The results may hold implications for understanding the physical and chemical properties of ceria nanoparticles and provide insight into the behavior of other metal-oxo clusters of significant technological and environmental interest.

Abstract
Being recognized as the first antioxidant nanoparticles (NPs) proposed for medicine, cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) have recently gained tremendous attention for their vast biomedical applications. Nevertheless, inconsistent reports of either medical benefits or toxicity have created an atmosphere of uncertainty hindering their clinical utilization. Like other nanoparticles advocated as a promising protective/therapeutic option, CeO2 NPs are sometimes questioned as a health threat. As CeO2 NPs tend to accumulate in the liver after intravenous injection, liver is known to represent the key tissue to test for their therapeutic/toxicological effects. However, more research evidence is still needed before any conclusions can be elicited about the mechanisms by which CeO2 NPs could be harmful or protective/therapeutic to the liver tissue. A proper understanding of such discrepancies is warranted to plan for further modifications to mitigate any side effects. Therefore, in this MiniReview, we tried to demonstrate the two sides of the same coin, CeO2 NPs, within the liver context. As well, we highlighted a few promising strategies by which the negatives of CeO2 NPs could be diminished while enhancing all the positives.

Abstract
Research on cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) has captivated the scientific community due to their unique physical and chemical properties, such as redox activity and oxygen buffering capacity, which made them available for many technical applications, including biomedical applications. The redox mimetic antioxidant properties of nanoceria have been effective in the treatment of many diseases caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species. The mechanism of ROS scavenging activity of nanoceria is still elusive, and its redox activity is controversial due to mixed reports in the literature showing pro-oxidant and antioxidant activity. In light of its current research interest, it is critical to understand the behavior of nanoceria in the biological environment and provide answers to some of the critical and open issues. This review critically analyzes the status of research on the application of nanoceria to treat diseases caused by ROS. It reviews the proposed mechanism of action and shows the effect of surface coatings on its redox activity. It also discusses some of the crucial issues in deciphering the mechanism and redox activity of nanoceria and suggests areas of future research.

Abstract
The activity of nanomaterials (NMs) in catalytically scavenging superoxide anions mimics that of superoxide dismutase (SOD). Although dozens of NMs have been demonstrated to possess such activity, the underlying principles are unclear, hindering the discovery of NMs as the novel SOD mimics. In this work, we use density functional theory calculations to study the thermodynamics and kinetics of the catalytic processes, and we develop two principles, namely, an energy level principle and an adsorption energy principle, for the activity. The first principle quantitatively describes the role of the intermediate frontier molecular orbital in transferring electrons for catalysis. The second one quantitatively describes the competition between the desired catalytic reaction and undesired side reactions. The ability of the principles to predict the SOD-like activities of metal-organic frameworks were verified by experiments. Both principles can be easily implemented in computer programs to computationally screen NMs with the intrinsic SOD-like activity.

Abstract
A new electrochemical sensor for organophosphate pesticide (methyl-paraoxon) detection based on bifunctional cerium oxide (CeO2) nanozyme is here reported for the first time. Methyl-paraoxon was degraded into p-nitrophenol by using CeO2 with phosphatase mimicking activity. The CeO2 nanozyme-modified electrode was then synthesized to detect p-nitrophenol. Cyclic voltammetry was applied to investigate the electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode, which indicates that the signal enhancement effect may attribute to the coating of CeO2 nanozyme. The current research also studied and discussed the main parameters affecting the analytical signal, including accumulation potential, accumulation time, and pH. Under the optimum conditions, the present method provided a wider linear range from 0.1 to 100 μmol/L for methyl-paraoxon with a detection limit of 0.06 μmol/L. To validate the proof of concept, the electrochemical sensor was then successfully applied for the determination of methyl-paraoxon in three herb samples, i.e., Coix lacryma-jobi, Adenophora stricta and Semen nelumbinis. Our findings may provide new insights into the application of bifunctional nanozyme in electrochemical detection of organophosphorus pesticide. A new electrochemical method for methyl-paraoxon detection by using bifunctional nanozyme was presented. The cerium oxide nanozyme modified glassy carbon electrode was prepared to improve the sensitivity. The developed method has been successfully applied in three herbal plant samples.

Abstract
Ceria nanoparticles (CeONPs) are versatile materials due to their unique catalytic properties, and cerium carbonate particles (CeCbPs) have been widely used as precursors for cerium oxide due to their ease of production. Urea is a widely used precipitant and a source of carbonate ions for the synthesis of CeONPs and CeCbPs, and the reaction temperature is important for controlling the rate of urea decomposition. However, the precise control of the temperature is often difficult, especially in large-scale reactions. Herein, we propose a homogeneous precipitation method that uses 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) and imidazole in acetone without heating. The decomposition rate of CDI can be controlled by the amount of water in the reaction mixture. In the synthesis of CeCbPs, unique particle morphologies of plate-, flying-saucer-, and macaron-like shapes and a wide range of sizes from 180 nm to 13 μm can be achieved by adjusting the amount of CDI, imidazole, and water in the reaction. These CeCbPs are transformed into ceria particles by calcination while maintaining their characteristic morphology. Moreover, the direct synthesis of 130 nm spherical CeONPs was possible by decreasing the amount of CDI in the reaction and the mixing time. These nanoparticles exhibited higher production efficiency and superior reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging properties compared to the other CeONPs obtained from calcination. These results demonstrate a novel method using CDI and imidazole in the synthesis of CeONPs and CeCbPs without the aid of a heating process, which may be useful in the large-scale synthesis and application of CeO nanomaterials.

Abstract
Cancers are a major challenge to health worldwide. Spinel ferrites have attracted attention due to their broad theranostic applications. This study aimed at investigating the antimicrobial, antibiofilm, and anticancer activities of ebselen (Eb) and cerium-nanoparticles (Ce-NPs) in the form of ZnCexFe2-XO4 on human breast and colon cancer cell lines. Bioassays of the cytotoxic concentrations of Eb and ZnCexFe2-XO4, oxidative stress and inflammatory milieu, autophagy, apoptosis, related signalling effectors, the distribution of cells through the cell-cycle phases, and the percentage of cells with apoptosis were evaluated in cancer cell lines. Additionally, the antimicrobial and antibiofilm potential have been investigated against different pathogenic microbes. The ZOI, and MIC results indicated that ZnCexFe2-XO4; X = 0.06 specimen reduced the activity of a wide range of bacteria and unicellular fungi at low concentration including P. aeruginosa (9.5 mm; 6.250 µg/mL), S. aureus (13.2 mm; 0.390 µg/mL), and Candida albicans (13.5 mm; 0.195 µg/mL). Reaction mechanism determination indicated that after ZnCexFe2-xO4; X = 0.06 treatment, morphological differences in S.aureus were apparent with complete lysis of bacterial cells, a concomitant decrease in the viable number, and the growth of biofilm was inhibited. The combination of Eb with ZFO or ZnCexFe2-XO4 with γ-radiation exposure showed marked anti-proliferative efficacy in both cell lines, through modulating the oxidant/antioxidant machinery imbalance, restoring the fine-tuning of redox status, and promoting an anti-inflammatory milieu to prevent cancer progression, which may be a valuable therapeutic approach to cancer therapy and as a promising antimicrobial agent to reduce the pathogenic potential of the invading microbes.

Abstract
Imbalance of oxidants is a universal contributor to the failure of implanted devices and tissues. A sustained oxidative environment leads to cytotoxicity, prolonged inflammation, and ultimately host rejection of implanted devices/grafts. The incorporation of antioxidant materials can inhibit this redox/inflammatory cycle and enhance implant efficacy. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CONP) is a highly promising agent that exhibits potent, ubiquitous, and self-renewable antioxidant properties. Integrating CONP as surface coatings provides ease in translating antioxidant properties to various implants/grafts. Herein, we describe the formation of CONP coatings, generated via the sequential deposition of CONP and alginate, and the impact of coating properties, pH, and polymer molecular weight, on their resulting redox profile. Investigation of CONP deposition, layer formation, and coating uniformity/thickness on their resulting oxidant scavenging activity identified key parameters for customizing global antioxidant properties. Results found lower molecular weight alginates and physiological pH shift CONP activity to a higher H2O2 to O2 --scavenging capability. The antioxidant properties measured for these various coatings translated to distinct antioxidant protection to the underlying encapsulated cells. Information gained from this work can be leveraged to tailor coatings towards specific oxidant-scavenging applications and prolong the function of medical devices and cellular implants.

Abstract
Low chemical durability of proton exchange membranes is one the main factors limiting their lifetime in fuel cells. Ceria nanoparticles are the most common free radical scavengers. In this work, hybrid membranes based on Nafion-117 membrane and sulfonic or phosphoric acid functionalized ceria synthesized from various precursors were prepared by the in situ method for the first time. Ceria introduction led to a slight decrease in conductivity of hybrid membranes in contact with water. At the same time, conductivity of membranes containing sulfonic acid modified ceria exceeded that of the pristine Nafion-117 membrane at 30% relative humidity (RH). Hydrogen permeability decreased for composite membranes with ceria synthesized from cerium (III) nitrate, which correlates with their water uptake. In hydrogen-air fuel cells, membrane electrode assembly fabricated with the hybrid membrane containing ceria synthesized from cerium (IV) sulfate exhibited a peak power density of 433 mW/cm2 at a current density of 1080 mA/cm2, while operating at 60 °C and 70% RH. It was 1.5 times higher than for the pristine Nafion-117 membrane (287 mW/cm2 at a current density of 714 mA/cm2).
